Pop-Tart Instructions Are Ridiculous

STRAWBERRY XBOX UNLOCK 2XP pop-tarts FROSTED STRAWBERRY 8 TOASTER PASTRIES MADE WITH WHOLE GRAIN BAKED & READY TO EAT REMOVE FROM FOIL BEFORE HEATING FOR TOASTER FOR MICROWAVE FOR FREEZER LET COOL BEFORE EATING MICROWAVE FOR 3 SECONDS

A hand holds a box of strawberry Pop-Tarts and slowly shows the detailed toaster, microwave, and freezer instructions on the packaging before placing a wrapped pastry into a microwave. The joke is that the speaker treats the simple three-second microwave instruction as impossible to misunderstand, then immediately appears to microwave the foil-wrapped Pop-Tart, creating an absurdly dangerous punchline. It is a reaction to overcomplicated instructions, exaggerated American behavior, or someone confidently doing something obviously wrong.

You know, if you guys ever read the instructions on Pop Tarts, it's ridiculous. For toasters, there's even more than one step. Let cool before eating. Microwave for three seconds? Dude, how can anyone fuck this up? Three seconds? No problem, baby.
